Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 582: Blood Brothers

Tuanzi’s jumping ability is excellent, bouncing up to Jin Shilin’s height.

When height isn’t enough, use jump to make up for it.

Jin Shilin was startled and snapped back to reality.

"Ah, did I scare you?"

After landing, Tuanzi sheepishly rubbed her face, like kneading a ball of cotton.

"Cousin, what exactly are you hesitating about? Are we going to find Brother Wen Li or not?"

The little girl felt something was odd.

This cousin seemed like someone who pursued efficiency and made decisions swiftly, so why was he so hesitant about giving a gift?

However, thinking about Gu Li’s way of doing things, she understood and nodded her little head, "Miaomiao understands, you adults are like this."

Wanting but not daring, desiring to chase but not daring to pursue, so contradictory.

Jin Shilin didn’t understand, he only saw his own conflicted face reflected back in those shiny big eyes.

A face unfamiliar to him.

He sighed, changed his shoes, and took the gift to head out.

From the Gu Mansion to the community entrance, Tuanzi was busy greeting people the entire way. Her greetings were not limited by gender, age, or status.

When they got on the bus, Tuanzi could even call out the driver’s last name and greet some passengers.

A child not even six years old, with an astonishingly wide social circle.

Jin Shilin vaguely understood why his cousin allowed his little cousin to come out with him.

With such a social network, if he harbored any ill intentions, he would probably be discovered as soon as he made a move.

After getting off the bus and finding the entrance to a certain community, Jin Shilin once again realized he had underestimated his little cousin.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lin!"

The security guard cheerily greeted Tuanzi, letting her into the community directly, but asked him to register.

Jin Shilin registered with a complex feeling.

The cousin and little cousin both visiting together didn’t surprise Wen Li at all.

"Did your brother tell you in advance?"

Jin Shilin asked casually as he changed into indoor shoes.

Wen Li replied with a beaming smile.

He didn’t say a word!

He thought, dear big brother probably wants to watch a good show, deliberately not saying anything. If he shows any flaw, Jin Shilin will only suspect he’s after a good show with their second uncle’s family.

How much his brother loves him!

Tuanzi changed her shoes swiftly, looking up only to be startled by his smile.

"Brother Wen Li, you look like the landlord uncle from the story you wrote before!"

As the story’s author, Wen Li knew the image he crafted for the landlord.

"Are you saying I’m evil?"

He reached out to pinch the chubby little face.

The little eyes started darting around.

"No, cousin, you’re so kind, cute, and generous."

"Look me in the eyes and say it again."

Tuanzi chose to break free from his hand, diving into the living room like a bird into the woods, rolling twice on the couch.

Jin Shilin, who had just sat down: "..." Suddenly felt that this cousin’s house would also be lively.

He’s not used to liveliness.

Wen Li, after unwrapping the gift and thanking him, shifted the conversation.

"Since it’s the summer break, Zhuo and Little Li aren’t very busy, why don’t we invite them to join for hot pot?"

Jin Shilin adjusted his glasses, sizing up this cousin without showing any emotion.

He was neither accustomed to liveliness, nor did he like the smell of food on him, unless necessary he wouldn’t choose hot pot or BBQ.

But not everyone knows this about him, and not everyone is considerate, so he’ll endure it this time.

He nodded, "Is there a supermarket nearby? I’ll go buy groceries."

Tuanzi eagerly raised her hand, "Miaomiao knows the way, I can go with you!"

Jin Shilin: "... You’re too familiar with this place."

"Because Miaomiao often comes over to mooch meals~"

After a pause, Tuanzi added shyly, "I often bring my senior brothers to mooch meals too."

Wen Li is a freelancer, but not a shut-in, and doesn’t rely on takeout; his cooking skills are decent.

On the contrary, Duan Xiayou and a few of the ancients heavily rely on takeout. Tantai Yi is only good at grilling, not home-cooked meals. The senior brothers don’t like to always let the junior sister cook, so they shamelessly take the direct bus to Wen Li’s house to mooch meals.

They have no qualms about letting Wen Li cook.

After another pause, Tuanzi added again, "Gu Zhuo and the others also often come over to eat."

The scene must be lively, Jin Shilin thought.

After buying groceries and returning, they were already greeted by Gu Li’s angry voice in the apartment.

"I told you, I don’t like pink, don’t prepare pink slippers for me!"

Jin Shilin was full of question marks, what was this all about?

In less than a second, Gu Li’s roar came again.

"Wen Li, did you do this on purpose? You definitely did it on purpose!"

"Oh oh, a good show is on!"

Tuanzi dashed forward, covering tens of meters from the elevator to Wen Li’s home in a second.

Her eagerness was palpable, and her aura of ’watching a good show’ infected Jin Shilin with a bit of curiosity too.

But ordinarily, he wouldn’t be curious about anything extra. There’s only so much time in a day, and after work and meals, there isn’t much time left for personal pursuits. What little time left isn’t enough for self-care, let alone caring about others.

Qinggong let Tuanzi be the first to join in.

It turns out Wen Li not only prepared pink slippers but also a pink apron for Gu Li. The apron had a brown bear holding a lollipop.

Gu Li, utterly embarrassed and annoyed, scolded Wen Li while honestly changing into the pink slippers and apron.

Noticing the heated gaze, the irritable young man turned around, dumbfounded.

"Hehe~"

Tuanzi turned back and saw Jin Shilin walking over with a bag, quickly pulling out a watermelon.

"Brother Gu Li, want some watermelon?"

Gu Li felt like he was the watermelon.

He didn’t even have the mind to greet Jin Shilin, turning back into the kitchen, probably not coming out for half an hour.

Wearing a brown apron, Wen Li showed an expression like, ’I knew this would happen.’

Gu Zhuo displayed a guilty yet excited look, guilty for not helping his brother, excited that his brother was so cute, just like his sister.

Jin Shilin: "... Did I go to the wrong house?"

In his impression, during family gatherings on holidays, these cousins behaved completely differently.

Wen Li, gentle and warm, like a lucky cat, opened his mouth to spew venom. After that happened three times, no family ever used the usual holiday questions to greet him again. Gu Zhuo stayed out of sight, while Gu Li acted like everyone owed him three million.

"No, you’re in the right place," Tuanzi didn’t catch the subtext, put down the watermelon, and reached out to grab him, "This is Brother Wen Li’s house. Let’s go and eat watermelon, Miaomiao will show you her knife skills!"

Seeing Wen Li and Gu Zhuo’s expressions as if it were natural, Jin Shilin swallowed the words ’children shouldn’t play with knives.’

Watching up close is indeed different from watching through a screen.

Jin Shilin stood by the door, back straight, his gaze sliding from the knife to his little cousin’s face.

All he could think was that off-camera, his cousin’s face seemed chubbier.

Tuanzi, currently showing off her knife skills, had a sense of awareness.

Why does her face feel hot?

Tuanzi looked over suspiciously, only to see Jin Shilin’s serious face.
